Albert Aanensen

'Hi James, have finally got to look at some photos taken on a trip south earlier this year which may be of interest. This iridescent cloud appeared as the sun came over the hill at Lake Ohau on my usual early morning excursions. I was looking NE using a Nikon D60 camera in a case of watch, wait and anticipate. Some low cloud cover burnt off enough to reveal the iridescence at best before the sun appeared. The cloud formations over the period we were in the area made for an interesting time. Taken just after 08:00 on 16 April 2010. Cheers, Albert Aanensen.'

This is one of the most beautiful examples of cloud iridescence I have seen, many thanks to Albert for sharing this magnificent photograph with us. (JMcG)

Julie Murray

'Hi James,
I took this photo of cloud on Saturday 17 July 2010 at 13:30 from Walter Peak Station on Lake Wakatipu looking northeast down the lake towards Queenstown. Used Canon 1000D, F/13 at 1/400. We had driven into Walter Peak from Te Anau via Mavora Lakes Road then Mt Nicholos Road over the Von Saddle. A beautiful day with Queenstown recording a -3°C frost that morning. Always a pleasure to view other people's photographs on your website... keep them coming! Cheers, Julie.'

Margaret Munro

'Looking out to sea from Port Levy Bay on Banks Peninsula at 11:00 10 July 2010, the sun low in the winter sky, the ocean calm - a magic moment to capture the two in harmony. I use your site often James, it's brilliant!' wrote Margaret.
